MEANS FOR LUBRIGATING SANDPAPERING-MACHINES.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. 14, 1908.

Original application filed September 24. 1906 Serial No. 336-059 Divided and this application filed April 10. 1907- Serial No. 367302.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, JAMES L. PERRY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Smithville, county of Burlington, and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Means for Lubricating Sanclpapering-\Iachines, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification.

This application is a division of an application, filed by me September 24, 1906, Serial N 0. 336,059.

My invention has for its object to lubricate the ways over which the upper reach of the endless carrier travels.

The invention consists in a table having longitudinally extending orificed ways thereon and an endless carrier traveling on said ways, combined with means for conveying the lubricant from beneath the ways through the orifices in the ways to the inner face of the carrier, as hereinafter set forth.

In the drawings: Figure 1 is a view showing the table and carrier in transverse section and the lubricator in longitudinal elevation. Fig. 2 is a plan view of a part of the table and of the lubricator. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal view, partly in section, showing a part of the table and carrier and showing the lubricator in end elevation, one side flange of the table being broken away.

20 is the carrier-supporting table and 30 a part of the upper reach of the endless carrier. The carrier 30 comprises lags 32, provided on its top with rubber cushions 38, and on its bottom with lugs 33, and links 31 connecting the lugs. The lags extend from one side to the other of the carrier and the lugs of each two adjacent lags are connected by means of two pairs of links at opposite sides of the carrier. The lags of the upper reach of the carrier travel over three ways 26 extending longitudinally along the upper face of the table. The driving means for the carrier are not shown, the same forming no part of the invention.

Connecting the side walls of the table, and beneath the ways 26, is the boxi'40. Supported from bolts 41, depending from brackets 42 on the table, is a trough 43 extending substantially from end to end of the box and adapted to contain oil. Projecting upwardly from the trough are standards 44 in which turns shaft 45 projecting beyond the ends of the table and having squared ends adapted to receive a handle 460. Secured to the shaft 45 are brushes 46 extending into orifices 47 in the ways. By turning the shaft 45 while the sander is in operation, the brushes 46 apply oil to the inner faces of the lags, which distribute the oil along the working faces of the ways.

The invention is applicable to any kind of an endless conveyer traveling on ways, such, for example, as those employed on planers, dado machines and other analogous woodworking machines.

Having now fully described my invention, what I claim and desire to protect by Letters Patent is:

1. In a sand papering or analogous machine, the combination with the table, and longitudinally extending orificed ways thereon, of the endless carrier adapted to travel on said ways, and means to convey a lubricating material through the orifices in the ways and apply it to the inner face of the carrier.

2. In a sand papering or analogous machine, the combination with the table, and longitudinally extending orificed ways thereon, of the endless carrier adapted to travel on said ways, a trough adapted to contain a lubricating material, and means for conveying the lubricating material from the trough through the orifices in the ways to the inner face of the carrier.

3. In a sand papering or analogous machine, the combination with the table, and longitudinally extending orificed ways thereon, of the endless carrier adapted to travel on said ways, a trough adapted to contain lubricating material, a shaft and brushes on the shaft extending both into said trough and said orifices.

4; In a sand papering or analogous machine, the combination with the table, and longitudinally extending orificed ways thereon, of the endless carrier adapted to travel In testimony of which invention, I have on said Ways, a transversely extending hereunto set In hand, at Philadelphia, on trough beneath all the Ways, a transversely this 27th day of March, 1907.
